Marcus Rashford has shared a glimpse into his calm and methodical pre-match routine in a video posted by Barcelona on their official X account, offering fans a more personal look at how he prepares for game day. The England international, who joined Barcelona after a turbulent Manchester United spell, has been open about his renewed focus and mindset since moving to Spain, as Softfootball reported about his revived confidence and joy for the game.
In the video, Rashford begins with a typical morning rhythm. He said with a grin:
I’ll probably wake up maybe 45 minutes before breakfast, open the curtains, relax for a minute, take a shower, then go for breakfast. I’ll have some porridge and eggs.
The forward explained that after team meetings and tactical briefings, he returns to his room to rest — sometimes napping, sometimes just lying back. He laughed, prompting the interviewer’s surprise:
Then I’ll probably take another shower.
That light moment quickly turned into talk of nutrition. He added:
We’ll have our pre-match meal — maybe some pasta or a bit of protein, something like that.
Rashford admitted he hadn’t eaten lunch yet, before noting that music and the team bus journey usually round off his preparation.

Rashford’s attention to detail and routine discipline reflect a mindset shaped by years under elite managers — a drive inspired partly by Cristiano Ronaldo’s professionalism, as Softfootball once reported. With Raphinha sidelined, as reported by Softfootball, Rashford’s consistency will be vital as Barcelona prepare for El Clásico.
